willing to prove it's accurate. 04:27.000 --> 04:28.000 That's final? 04:28.000 --> 04:29.000 That's final. 04:29.000 --> 04:30.000 Then I quit. 04:32.000 --> 04:34.000 Waiting for anything? 04:34.000

when this little nervous kind of guy sort of eases up to the table. 04:56.000 --> 04:58.000 He sits down opposite me and... 05:00.000 --> 05:01.000 Mr. Harvey? 05:01.000 --> 05:02.000 Yeah? 05:02.000

--> 05:14.000 I don't mean just talk. 05:14.000 --> 05:16.000 I'm ready to spill. 05:16.000 --> 05:17.000 What have you got to spill? 05:17.000 --> 05:19.000 You've heard of Joe Mantelli haven't you? 05:19.000 --> 05:20.000 Yeah yeah of course. 05:20.000 --> 05:21.000 I work for him. 05:21.000 --> 05:22.000 I'm in the mob. 05:22.000 --> 05:23.000 Oh. 05:23.000 --> 05:24.000 What's the angle? 05:24.000 --> 05:25.000 I want to go straight. 05:25.000 --> 05:30.000 I figure if you do one of them exposes on Mantelli that'll take care of him. 05:30.000 --> 05:31.000 Okay. 05:31.000 --> 05:32.000 Start talking. 05:32.000 --> 05:33.000 Race tracks. 05:33.000 --> 05:35.000 Race tracks? 05:35.000 --> 05:37.000 Race tracks. 05:41.000 --> 05:43.000 That's how I got the dope for the first article. 05:43.000 --> 05:45.000 What does that prove? 05:45.000 --> 05:47.000 Collins could be making the whole thing up. 05:47.000 --> 05:49.000 Sure he could but be reasonable. 05:49.000 --> 05:50.000 Why would he? 05:50.000 --> 05:51.000 I don't know. 05:51.000 --> 05:52.000 He'd be sticking his neck out a mile. 05:52.000 --> 05:54.000 I'd like to meet your Charlie Collins. 05:54.000 --> 05:56.000 Well he certainly won't come here. 05:56.000 --> 05:58.000 Mantelli's smart enough to have this place watched. 05:58.000 --> 06:04.000 Well why don't you bring him out to the house or you come out for dinner and then have him meet you there. 06:04.000 --> 06:06.000 Of all the unreasonable suspicious females I... 06:06.000 --> 06:08.000 Well now is it unreasonable to ask you for dinner? 06:08.000 --> 06:11.000 Okay I'll try to contact Collins and get him out there. 06:11.000 --> 06:12.000 Good. 06:12.000 --> 06:14.000 And thanks for the invitation. 06:14.000 --> 06:16.000 You're welcome. 06:16.000 --> 06:17.000 George. 06:17.000 --> 06:19.000 Yeah? 06:19.000 --> 06:22.000 Why did you want to be alone in Clancy's? 06:22.000 --> 06:24.000 I wanted to think. 06:24.000 --> 06:27.000 Just to think or...or to think of someone? 06:27.000 --> 06:30.000 As a matter of fact I was thinking of someone. 06:30.000 --> 06:31.000 Who? 06:31.000 --> 06:34.000 I was thinking about Richard Harding Davis. 06:34.000 --> 06:36.000 He was a great man and a great reporter. 06:36.000 --> 06:39.000 You know some of that stuff of his is... 06:39.000 --> 06:41.000 What's the matter you're not listening? 06:41.000 --> 06:42.000 See you at dinner George. 06:42.000 --> 06:43.000 I don't get it. 06:43.000 --> 06:45.000 You ask a question I tell you the answer then you're angry. 06:45.000 --> 06:47.000 I'm not angry George. 06:47.000 --> 06:49.000 Just a little hurt. 06:49.000 --> 06:51.000 So that's where Sammy gets those cliches. 06:51.000 --> 06:52.000 Why you... 06:52.000 --> 06:53.000 Susan! 06:53.000 --> 06:55.000 You could kill a man throwing a paperweight like that at him. 06:55.000 --> 06:57.000 George go! 07:04.000 --> 07:07.000 So you got him coming out to dinner again. 07:07.000 --> 07:09.000 Well this is partly business Patience. 07:09.000 --> 07:10.000 Business. 07:10.000 --> 07:14.000 You lay more traps for that man than Daniel Boone on a busy day. 07:14.000 --> 07:16.000 Somehow he always eases out of them. 07:16.000 --> 07:18.000 It's because you fight with him too much. 07:18.000 --> 07:21.000 Did you ever try fainting? 07:21.000 --> 07:22.000 Fainting? 07:22.000 --> 07:28.000 A woman I once used to cook for was trying to catch a certain fella and every time an argument started she'd go into a faint. 07:28.000 --> 07:29.000 Did it work? 07:29.000 --> 07:34.000 No but by the end of an evening she was certainly well rested. 07:34.000 --> 07:35.000 I'll get it. 07:35.000 --> 07:39.000 He's never late when you ask him for dinner is he? 07:39.000 --> 07:40.000 Hello George. 07:40.000 --> 07:41.000 Hi. 07:41.000 --> 07:42.000 Collins will be here any minute. 07:42.000 --> 07:43.000 Collins? 07:43.000 --> 07:44.000 Charlie Collins. 07:44.000 --> 07:45.000 My source on the Mantelli stuff. 07:45.000 --> 07:47.000 That's why I'm out here isn't it? 07:47.000 --> 07:48.000 Oh Charlie Collins! 07:48.000 --> 07:49.000 What other Collins do you know? 07:49.000 --> 07:52.000 Oh George now let's not argue. 07:52.000 --> 07:55.000 I feel a trifle faint. 07:55.000 --> 07:57.000 You faint? 07:57.000 --> 08:00.000 That's a laugh you're as strong as a horse. 08:00.000 --> 08:02.000 Well so much for that. 08:02.000 --> 08:03.000 Huh? 08:03.000 --> 08:05.000 No nothing go and sit down George. 08:05.000 --> 08:07.000 Dinner will be ready soon. 08:07.000 --> 08:10.000 That was an awkward kind of thing to say. 08:10.000 --> 08:12.000 You know about you being as strong as a horse. 08:12.000 --> 08:14.000 I didn't exactly mean it the way it sounded. 08:14.000 --> 08:15.000 It's quite all right. 08:15.000 --> 08:19.000 No no it's just that well I see you around the office all day and I forget what a charming 08:19.000 --> 08:21.000 lovely gal you really are. 08:21.000 --> 08:24.000 Well George what a nice thing to say. 08:24.000 --> 08:27.000 That I see you out here looking like an illustration in one of those slick paper magazines. 08:27.000 --> 08:28.000 Yes. 08:28.000 --> 08:31.000 And I forget what a stubborn quarrelsome dame you can be around the office. 08:31.000 --> 08:32.000 I give up. 08:32.000 --> 08:33.000 Let's fight. 08:33.000 --> 08:34.000 What's the matter now? 08:34.000 --> 08:36.000 I thought I was paying you a compliment. 08:36.000 --> 08:39.000 Oh never mind. 08:39.000 --> 08:40.000 George. 08:40.000 --> 08:41.000 Hmm? 08:41.000 --> 08:42.000 I thought you were just raising that window behind you. 08:42.000 --> 08:43.000 No it's probably Charlie. 08:43.000 --> 08:45.000 He's Foxy never uses the door. 08:45.000 --> 08:48.000 Come on in Charlie. 08:48.000 --> 08:49.000 Right on time. 08:49.000 --> 08:52.000 Charlie this is Miss Armstrong the owner of the paper. 08:52.000 --> 08:53.000 How do you do Mr. Collins? 08:53.000 --> 08:54.000 How do? 08:54.000 --> 08:58.000 Miss Armstrong wanted to talk to you herself because that stuff we've been running is pretty 08:58.000 --> 08:59.000 strong. 08:59.000 --> 09:00.000 Okay. 09:00.000 --> 09:04.000 I wondered why you've been giving Mr. Harvey this information. 09:04.000 --> 09:09.000 Because when the time is right when we've busted up the mob and wiped them out the chief 09:09.000 --> 09:12.000 is going to publish the name of the man who helped him. 09:12.000 --> 09:13.000 The chief? 09:13.000 --> 09:18.000 Well George am I learning for the first time that in your youth you were a papoose? 09:18.000 --> 09:21.000 Well Charlie sort of got me a habit of calling me chief. 09:21.000 --> 09:23.000 It's just an expression. 09:23.000 --> 09:24.000 Yeah. 09:24.000 --> 09:25.000 And I'm number seven. 09:25.000 --> 09:26.000 Number seven. 09:26.000 --> 09:28.000 But there are only two of you. 09:28.000 --> 09:32.000 In an operation like this you always use numbers instead of names. 09:32.000 --> 09:33.000 Oh. 09:33.000 --> 09:34.000 Chief I got news. 09:34.000 --> 09:35.000 Big news. 09:35.000 --> 09:36.000 What's happening Charlie? 09:36.000 --> 09:37.000 Pittsburgh. 09:37.000 --> 09:38.000 Pittsburgh? 09:38.000 --> 09:39.000 Pittsburgh. 09:39.000 --> 09:42.000 Chief Joe Mintelli is planning to take over Pittsburgh. 09:42.000 --> 09:43.000 No. 09:43.000 --> 09:45.000 I know the answer to that. 09:45.000 --> 09:46.000 Yes. 09:46.000 --> 09:47.000 Susan please. 09:47.000 --> 09:48.000 Alright I'll be quiet. 09:48.000 --> 09:49.000 Are you sure of that Charlie? 09:49.000 --> 09:51.000 The plans are almost set. 09:51.000 --> 09:54.000 I'll give you the full details as soon as I get them. 09:54.000 --> 09:55.000 Right. 09:55.000 --> 09:56.000 I better be going now. 09:56.000 --> 09:58.000 Mintelli is keeping a close watch on everybody. 09:58.000 --> 09:59.000 Good work Charlie. 09:59.000 --> 10:00.000 Thanks chief. 10:00.000 --> 10:01.000 Oh number seven. 10:01.000 --> 10:02.000 Yeah. 10:02.000 --> 10:05.000 Don't slam the window on the way out. 10:05.000 --> 10:07.000 Okay. 10:07.000 --> 10:09.000 Well what have you got to say now? 10:09.000 --> 10:11.000 George I'm still worried. 10:11.000 --> 10:12.000 Well you asked to meet the man. 10:12.000 --> 10:13.000 I had him come out here. 10:13.000 --> 10:14.000 What more can I do? 10:14.000 --> 10:15.000 Get Mintelli to dictate the story? 10:15.000 --> 10:16.000 No of course not. 10:16.000 --> 10:19.000 But I just hate to run a sensational series on the word of a man like that. 10:19.000 --> 10:22.000 Well you don't get crime material from society people you know. 10:22.000 --> 10:26.000 I know but oh I just wish you'd consider dropping the series. 10:26.000 --> 10:28.000 Drop the series? 10:28.000 --> 10:29.000 That does it. 10:29.000 --> 10:31.000 Oh but now don't quit before dinner. 10:31.000 --> 10:33.000 Patience is cook something that you like. 10:33.000 --> 10:34.000 Very funny. 10:34.000 --> 10:36.000 And goodbye. 10:36.000 --> 10:37.000 George. 10:37.000 --> 10:38.000 Yeah. 10:38.000 --> 10:42.000 Just because Mr. Collins left by the window you don't have to leave by the window. 10:42.000 --> 10:43.000 Oh. 10:43.000 --> 10:45.000 I guess I got excited. 10:45.000 --> 10:47.000 Ah please stay. 10:47.000 --> 10:49.000 I'm asking it as a favor. 10:49.000 --> 10:53.000 Well why is it I can't say so at you? 10:53.000 --> 10:54.000 I wish I knew. 10:54.000 --> 11:08.000 I'd use it more often. 11:08.000 --> 11:10.000 Mrs. Gilhooly prices are terrible. 11:10.000 --> 11:12.000 Oh they are Mrs. Heratty they are. 11:12.000 --> 11:13.000 And where will it end? 11:13.000 --> 11:15.000 Oh I don't know I'm sure. 11:15.000 --> 11:20.000 It is the economic stabilization will do for us all. 11:20.000 --> 11:23.000 Oh good evening Mr. Collins. 11:23.000 --> 11:25.000 Good evening Mrs. Heratty. 11:25.000 --> 11:26.000 Any messages for me? 11:26.000 --> 11:27.000 None tonight. 11:27.000 --> 11:28.000 Thank you. 11:28.000 --> 11:29.000 Good night lady. 11:29.000 --> 11:30.000 Good night. 11:30.000 --> 11:32.000 Good night Mr. Collins. 11:32.000 --> 11:35.000 Ah if only all the other boarders were like him. 11:35.000 --> 11:37.000 He's a pleasant spoken man indeed. 11:37.000 --> 11:39.000 And never a bit of trouble. 11:39.000 --> 11:41.000 Though lately he's been acting odd. 11:41.000 --> 11:42.000 Odd? 11:42.000 --> 11:43.000 Yes. 11:43.000 --> 11:44.000 How? 11:44.000 --> 11:49.000 Oh you know he's always subscribed to every one of them detective story and gangster magazines. 11:49.000 --> 11:51.000 Yes he gives them to me timmy after he's through with them. 11:51.000 --> 11:59.000 Well yesterday morning I was cleaning the hall outside his room and I heard him reading one of them gangster stories out loud. 11:59.000 --> 12:00.000 And then? 12:00.000 --> 12:04.000 Well a little later I heard him telling the same story over again. 12:04.000 --> 12:06.000 With a few changes in it. 12:06.000 --> 12:09.000 Just as if he was practicing telling it to someone else. 12:09.000 --> 12:11.000 Why would the man be doing that? 12:11.000 --> 12:14.000 Do you think he could be planning to turn into a writer maybe? 12:14.000 --> 12:17.000 No why would Mr. Collins want to turn into a writer? 12:17.000 --> 12:22.000 And him with his fine job as head cashier for the transit company these twenty years. 12:22.000 --> 12:23.000 Don't sound very likely. 12:23.000 --> 12:25.000 Just remember this boys. 12:25.000 --> 12:26.000 I'm in. 12:26.000 --> 12:27.000 I'm taking over. 12:27.000 --> 12:31.000 Reach for that Rod Rocky and it's the last move you'll ever make. 12:31.000 --> 12:32.000 Oh thanks preservers what's that? 12:32.000 --> 12:34.000 Oh it's Mr. Collins reading to himself. 12:34.000 --> 12:37.000 The new crime magazine came today. 12:37.000 --> 12:39.000 Will you have another cook Mrs. Gilhooly? 12:39.000 --> 13:02.000 Oh mind if I do Mrs. Hersey? 13:02.000 --> 13:07.000 Now back to our two stars Irene Dunn and Fred McMurray and the second act of our story. 13:07.000 --> 13:14.000 Well it's only natural that all those newspaper stories George has been writing about Big Joe Mentele should have repercussions. 13:14.000 --> 13:32.000 And right now Joe seems to be taking some action. 13:32.000 --> 13:33.000 Hello? 13:33.000 --> 13:34.000 Hello Harcourt. 13:34.000 --> 13:36.000 What's the sense of you having a private wire if you let her ring that long? 13:36.000 --> 13:37.000 Who is it? 13:37.000 --> 13:38.000 Joe Mentele. 13:38.000 --> 13:42.000 You cheesy lawyers get enough money from me every year you should recognize my voice. 13:42.000 --> 13:43.000 Oh good morning Joe. 13:43.000 --> 13:44.000 Did you read the papers? 13:44.000 --> 13:46.000 Did you see what that Harvey had today? 13:46.000 --> 13:47.000 Huh? 13:47.000 --> 13:48.000 Now what you gonna do about it? 13:48.000 --> 13:49.000 What do you want me to do about it? 13:49.000 --> 13:52.000 Sit down on the curb stone and have a nice cry. 13:52.000 --> 13:54.000 You're a lawyer you know what to do. 13:54.000 --> 13:56.000 Ain't a word of truth in what Harvey's writing. 13:56.000 --> 13:57.000 Soon for libel. 13:57.000 --> 13:59.000 If you do that they'll put you on the witness stand Joe. 13:59.000 --> 14:01.000 So they'll put me on the stand. 14:01.000 --> 14:02.000 What of it? 14:02.000 --> 14:04.000 I'm a respectable businessman now. 14:04.000 --> 14:06.000 I'm likely to ask you about those horse wires. 14:06.000 --> 14:07.000 All right. 14:07.000 --> 14:10.000 Horse wires is illegal but they ain't a real crime. 14:10.000 --> 14:11.000 What about the warehouse deal? 14:11.000 --> 14:13.000 How can they ask me about that? 14:13.000 --> 14:14.000 The Texas Center. 14:14.000 --> 14:15.000 Oh dad. 14:15.000 --> 14:16.000 And how about the... 14:16.000 --> 14:17.000 But those are just sidelines. 14:17.000 --> 14:18.000 They can ask about them. 14:18.000 --> 14:22.000 Well all I gotta say is it's a fine state of affairs when a guy like Harvey can print 14:22.000 --> 14:26.000 them things about a respectable businessman and get away with it. 14:26.000 --> 14:31.000 And don't you send me no bill for that kind of advice. 14:31.000 --> 14:32.000 Justice. 14:32.000 --> 14:35.000 When you don't want it they stuff it down your throat. 14:35.000 --> 14:39.000 When you do want it try and get it. 14:39.000 --> 14:41.000 Yeah. 14:41.000 --> 14:42.000 Who? 14:42.000 --> 14:43.000 What? 14:43.000 --> 14:44.000 Send her in. 14:44.000 --> 14:47.000 Mr. Mentally. 14:47.000 --> 14:49.000 Yeah. 14:49.000 --> 14:54.000 So you're Miss Armstrong. 14:54.000 --> 14:55.000 Yes. 14:55.000 --> 14:58.000 I was just getting ready to sue you for libel. 14:58.000 --> 14:59.000 Oh were you? 14:59.000 --> 15:02.000 Well then perhaps it's a good thing I'm here. 15:02.000 --> 15:03.000 You gonna print a retraction? 15:03.000 --> 15:05.000 No I can hardly do that. 15:05.000 --> 15:06.000 Then I'll sue. 15:06.000 --> 15:09.000 Well on the whole I rather doubt that you will. 15:09.000 --> 15:10.000 What makes you think that? 15:10.000 --> 15:13.000 Well if you were going to sue you'd have started already. 15:13.000 --> 15:16.000 Ah I got it all figured out haven't you? 15:16.000 --> 15:17.000 I'm trying to. 15:17.000 --> 15:19.000 Just why'd you come here? 15:19.000 --> 15:22.000 I wanted to make up my mind about something. 15:22.000 --> 15:25.000 The best way to do that seemed to be to come and have a talk with you. 15:25.000 --> 15:30.000 Ah you got your doubts about that stuff Harvey's been writing huh? 15:30.000 --> 15:31.000 Yes I have. 15:31.000 --> 15:33.000 Well there ain't a word of truth in it. 15:33.000 --> 15:35.000 Are you willing to prove that? 15:35.000 --> 15:36.000 Sure. 15:36.000 --> 15:39.000 Well if you do the articles will stop immediately. 15:39.000 --> 15:48.000 Well you can't quite figure out how to go about proving it to you but I could show you the books but anybody can make up a set of books. 15:48.000 --> 15:50.000 Yes that's true. 15:50.000 --> 15:57.000 I guess the best way is if you got the time for you to stick around and watch me conduct my business. 15:57.000 --> 15:59.000 Just what is your business? 15:59.000 --> 16:02.000 Oh investments of different kinds. 16:02.000 --> 16:07.000 Alright as a matter of fact while I'm here I might do a straight article on you myself. 16:07.000 --> 16:10.000 It might make up for the others we ran. 16:10.000 --> 16:12.000 Hey that's a good idea. 16:12.000 --> 16:15.000 You're a pretty smart little lady. 16:15.000 --> 16:16.000 Thank you. 16:16.000 --> 16:24.000 You know with someone like you to tell me the right forks to use and stuff like that there's no telling where I might wind up. 16:24.000 --> 16:29.000 First ex mobster ever to become president. 16:29.000 --> 16:31.000 It's not so impossible. 16:31.000 --> 16:34.000 He's called the chief executive Andy. 16:34.000 --> 16:35.000 So what's an executive? 16:35.000 --> 16:37.000 A fellow who people does what he tells them. 16:37.000 --> 16:51.000 Well people do what I tell them. 16:51.000 --> 16:54.000 Hey Mr. Harvey how about letting me have a little on account. 16:54.000 --> 16:55.000 Out of my way junior. 16:55.000 --> 16:58.000 Well gee what are you so sore about. 16:58.000 --> 16:59.000 Hello George. 16:59.000 --> 17:01.000 Why isn't my Mantelli article in today's paper. 17:01.000 --> 17:03.000 No George don't get angry. 17:03.000 --> 17:05.000 I'm not getting angry I am angry. 17:05.000 --> 17:06.000 Why wasn't my stuff in. 17:06.000 --> 17:07.000 Because I told them to hold it. 17:07.000 --> 17:08.000 You told them to hold it. 17:08.000 --> 17:09.000 Why. 17:09.000 --> 17:11.000 Well we just might be on the wrong track. 17:11.000 --> 17:13.000 I thought we'd settle that last night. 17:13.000 --> 17:15.000 Listen I went to see Mr. Mantelli this morning. 17:15.000 --> 17:17.000 You went to see him. 17:17.000 --> 17:20.000 Yes and as nearly as I can tell he's conducting a legitimate business. 17:20.000 --> 17:22.000 Ah women. 17:22.000 --> 17:28.000 George now I know it's a disappointment to you but we've got to be more certain of our ground before we go on with this series. 17:28.000 --> 17:29.000 That's a woman every time. 17:29.000 --> 17:34.000 You go to see him he flashes you a big smile pays you a couple of phony compliments and you're ready to believe anything. 17:34.000 --> 17:40.000 All right I started to do a straight article on Mantelli but he's leaving for Mexico on business. 17:40.000 --> 17:43.000 He invited me to go along all expenses paid. 17:43.000 --> 17:44.000 I said I couldn't. 17:44.000 --> 17:46.000 Very nice offer though. 17:46.000 --> 17:52.000 Mr. Mantelli said he can tell the difference between a dame what's a lady and a dame what's a dame. 17:52.000 --> 17:53.000 How do you make out. 17:53.000 --> 17:56.000 I'm going and I'm going to do a whole series on him. 17:56.000 --> 17:58.000 Oh Susan you can't be seen around with a man like that. 17:58.000 --> 18:00.000 Can't I just. 18:00.000 --> 18:08.000 You watch me. 18:08.000 --> 18:11.000 I got some big news for you. 18:11.000 --> 18:13.000 And I've got some big news for you. 18:13.000 --> 18:15.000 Miss Armstrong went to see Mantelli this morning. 18:15.000 --> 18:17.000 How come you didn't know about it. 18:17.000 --> 18:19.000 She went to see Mantelli. 18:19.000 --> 18:20.000 Yes. 18:20.000 --> 18:21.000 Why didn't you know it. 18:21.000 --> 18:27.000 Why I knew it as soon as I soon as I heard of it I figured I'd better stay out of the way. 18:27.000 --> 18:31.000 Why should you have one flicker of recognition we both have been rubbed out. 18:31.000 --> 18:33.000 Well you've got a point there. 18:33.000 --> 18:37.000 But listen chief this new angle it's about the dance halls that have. 18:37.000 --> 18:40.000 Never mind a new angle and don't call me chief. 18:40.000 --> 18:41.000 Oh gee. 18:41.000 --> 18:43.000 He's got to convince that he's legit. 18:43.000 --> 18:45.000 She's even going to cover a business trip of his. 18:45.000 --> 18:48.000 And we just got to prove to her that he's still in the rackets. 18:48.000 --> 18:50.000 Yeah but how. 18:50.000 --> 18:54.000 The way you prove a crook is a crook is to frame him everybody knows that. 18:54.000 --> 18:55.000 Oh Charlie don't try to be funny. 18:55.000 --> 18:57.000 I'm not. 18:57.000 --> 18:58.000 Where's he going. 18:58.000 --> 18:59.000 Mexico. 18:59.000 --> 19:03.000 Well look suppose he was going to smuggle back a load of diamonds. 19:03.000 --> 19:08.000 Suppose he was going to smuggle them back in a secret compartment in her bag. 19:08.000 --> 19:09.000 Oh great. 19:09.000 --> 19:13.000 All we have to do is get Mantelli to put a secret compartment in her suitcase and. 19:13.000 --> 19:15.000 Oh you mean we do it. 19:15.000 --> 19:16.000 Right. 19:16.000 --> 19:18.000 Might work at that. 19:18.000 --> 19:21.000 Let's see maybe we could get patients to help us. 19:21.000 --> 19:22.000 Do you think she would. 19:22.000 --> 19:24.000 She might if I eat enough lemon pie. 19:24.000 --> 19:28.000 Patience is one of the best cooks in the world but the one thing she's proudest of is our lemon pies. 19:28.000 --> 19:29.000 And they're terrible. 19:29.000 --> 19:32.000 Maybe you better see her alone. 19:32.000 --> 19:33.000 Oh no you don't little man. 19:33.000 --> 19:43.000 We're in this together. 19:43.000 --> 19:46.000 Well it seems kind of crazy to me. 19:46.000 --> 19:49.000 But at this Joe Mantelli is what you say he is. 19:49.000 --> 19:51.000 I guess I'd better help you keep Miss Susan home. 19:51.000 --> 19:53.000 You're sure you've got this straight now Patience. 19:53.000 --> 19:55.000 Tomorrow morning you send her bag over to his place. 19:55.000 --> 19:57.000 If she asks you about it tell her he sent for it. 19:57.000 --> 19:58.000 Why would he do that. 19:58.000 --> 20:01.000 Well to make sure it would get to the airport in time. 20:01.000 --> 20:03.000 Well okay. 20:03.000 --> 20:07.000 Well say Patience this is mighty tasty pie. 20:07.000 --> 20:08.000 It sure is. 20:08.000 --> 20:12.000 If there's anything I love it's a good piece of custard pie. 20:12.000 --> 20:13.000 It's lemon. 20:13.000 --> 20:16.000 Yeah that's what I meant to say lemon. 20:16.000 --> 20:20.000 Well we'll take the suitcase fix it up and get it back to you this afternoon in time for you to pack it. 20:20.000 --> 20:21.000 All right. 20:21.000 --> 20:22.000 We'll be back at four. 20:22.000 --> 20:23.000 Good. 20:23.000 --> 20:41.000 And by the way just in case you think I'm doing this because you praised my pie it was custard. 20:41.000 --> 20:42.000 How much time we got. 20:42.000 --> 20:43.000 Twelve minutes. 20:43.000 --> 20:44.000 Where's the dame. 20:44.000 --> 20:45.000 Don't worry. 20:45.000 --> 20:49.000 Classy little lady like that never stands anybody up. 20:49.000 --> 20:51.000 Look see what they tell you. 20:51.000 --> 20:54.000 Hello Mr. Mentally afraid I'd miss the plane. 20:54.000 --> 20:55.000 Not me. 20:55.000 --> 20:57.000

Expecting anybody to see you off. 21:11.000 --> 21:13.000 No I guess not. 21:13.000 --> 21:14.000 Okay with me. 21:14.000 --> 21:17.000 It's as easy waiting here as anyplace else. 21:17.000 -->

plane. 21:32.000 --> 21:35.000 I don't know that you've got anything to say about it bud. 21:35.000 --> 21:37.000 It's up to the little lady. 21:37.000 --> 21:39.000 Susan this guy is exactly what he always has been. 21:39.000 --> 21:43.000 Well now if this is some more information from your precious number seven I'm not interested. 21:43.000 --> 21:45.000 He's even planning to use you and I can prove it. 21:45.000 --> 21:47.000 Well that's kind of interesting. 21:47.000 --> 21:49.000 Just how are you going to do that. 21:49.000 --> 21:51.000 He may have told you he's going to Mexico on business. 21:51.000 --> 21:52.000 But you know what that business is. 21:52.000 --> 21:54.000 It's diamond smuggling. 21:54.000 --> 21:57.000 People certainly know things about me that I never heard of myself. 21:57.000 --> 21:59.000 And he's planning to use you Susan. 21:59.000 --> 22:00.000 Look. 22:00.000 --> 22:01.000 Hey what are you doing with that bag. 22:01.000 --> 22:04.000 You keep out of this. 22:04.000 --> 22:05.000 There look at this. 22:05.000 --> 22:07.000 A false bottom in the suitcase. 22:07.000 --> 22:11.000 That's where the stones were going to be brought back and if anything went wrong you'd be the one to be caught. 22:11.000 --> 22:14.000 Mr. Mentele how about this. 22:14.000 --> 22:15.000 Listen little lady. 22:15.000 --> 22:17.000 I never argue. 22:17.000 --> 22:20.000 If you want to believe that you go ahead and believe it. 22:20.000 --> 22:21.000 It's right here for the sea isn't it. 22:21.000 --> 22:23.000 Buster I said I don't argue. 22:23.000 --> 22:28.000 The way I happen to feel about you if I ever got started I couldn't stop. 22:28.000 --> 22:30.000 Well any time you're ready let me know. 22:30.000 --> 22:31.000 I will. 22:31.000 --> 22:32.000 Well Susan. 22:32.000 --> 22:34.000 No explanation Mr. Mentele. 22:34.000 --> 22:35.000 None. 22:35.000 --> 22:37.000 That's that then. 22:37.000 --> 22:41.000 Well you'd better take me home George. 22:41.000 --> 22:43.000 Tough luck Joe. 22:43.000 --> 22:45.000 Some you win some you lose. 22:45.000 --> 22:48.000 I wonder how that secret compartment got there. 22:48.000 --> 22:49.000 That beats me. 22:49.000 --> 22:53.000 I wasn't planning to smuggle no diamonds in her suitcase. 22:53.000 --> 22:55.000 I was going to use her hat box. 23:07.000 --> 23:11.000 Well the modern age is certainly honest if you got to Mexico and back in that time. 23:11.000 --> 23:12.000 She didn't leave. 23:12.000 --> 23:14.000 Gee Chief you got her. 23:14.000 --> 23:15.000 That's great. 23:15.000 --> 23:17.000 They can't beat old Charlie Collins. 23:17.000 --> 23:20.000 Oh you think so do you. 23:20.000 --> 23:21.000 Pittsburgh. 23:21.000 --> 23:22.000 Huh. 23:22.000 --> 23:23.000 Pittsburgh. 23:23.000 --> 23:24.000 Slot machines. 23:24.000 --> 23:25.000 Race wires. 23:25.000 --> 23:26.000 What are you talking about Susan. 23:26.000 --> 23:28.000 It's all here George. 23:28.000 --> 23:31.000 Latest issue of Action Gangster magazine. 23:31.000 --> 23:35.000 Old Charlie Collins has been reading these stories and telling them back to you. 23:35.000 --> 23:37.000 Young Mr. Harvey. 23:37.000 --> 23:38.000 He's been. 23:38.000 --> 23:40.000 Charlie. 23:40.000 --> 23:42.000 Charlie is that what you've been doing. 23:42.000 --> 23:43.000 Chief I. 23:43.000 --> 23:47.000 And the issue before this had the story you gave us on crooked roulette. 23:47.000 --> 23:49.000 Chief. 23:49.000 --> 23:51.000 I. 23:51.000 --> 23:52.000 There's no use. 23:52.000 --> 23:54.000 I did it. 23:54.000 --> 23:58.000 Well I guess this is goodbye Chief. 23:58.000 --> 23:59.000 Charlie. 23:59.000 --> 24:02.000 How could you do a thing like that to me. 24:02.000 --> 24:03.000 I don't know. 24:03.000 --> 24:07.000 I guess it's just that danger attracts me. 24:07.000 --> 24:11.000 Boy when we'd sit there and figure what mentality was going to do next. 24:11.000 --> 24:13.000 And how we'd expose him. 24:13.000 --> 24:15.000 Oh that was real thrilling Chief. 24:15.000 --> 24:16.000 Good grief. 24:16.000 --> 24:19.000 And you can stop calling me Chief. 24:19.000 --> 24:21.000 Well Chief. 24:21.000 --> 24:23.000 I'll be going. 24:23.000 --> 24:25.000 Miss Armstrong. 24:25.000 --> 24:28.000 Can I ask one last favor. 24:28.000 --> 24:29.000 What is it. 24:29.000 --> 24:32.000 This is the last time I'll be here. 24:32.000 --> 24:35.000 So do you mind if I leave by the window. 24:35.000 --> 24:38.000 Okay number seven. 24:38.000 --> 24:55.000 Thanks. 24:55.000 --> 25:12.000 Our stars Irene Dunn and Fred McMurray will be back in a moment. 25:12.000 --> 25:16.000 Susan there's something I've been wondering about how did you happen to find out about Charlie. 25:16.000 --> 25:19.000 You don't normally read things like action gangster magazine. 25:19.000 --> 25:25.000 No but I ran across this whole stack of them the day I went to Mantelli's office. 25:25.000 --> 25:27.000 Oh I don't get it. 25:27.000 --> 25:30.000 They were in his desk drawer right next to his gun. 25:30.000 --> 25:32.000 Why would Mantelli read things like this. 25:32.000 --> 25:35.000 I don't know I guess it reminds him of home. 25:35.000 --> 25:38.000 Don't touch that issue George and I go off. 25:38.000 --> 25:39.000 You mean you took the gun too. 25:39.000 --> 25:40.000 Well of course George. 25:40.000 --> 25:42.000 Why. 25:42.000 --> 25:55.000 Because it seemed that sensible thing to do. 25:55.000 --> 26:02.000 Irene Dunn and Fred McMurray will be back next week in another exciting comedy adventure in the gay new series Bright Star. 26:02.000 --> 26:30.000 This is Harry Bonzel inviting you to join us then. 26:30.000 --> 26:53.000 Thank you.
